HIGH FIVE factsDon’t waste your time cutting out and laminating hundreds of hands to practice “High Five facts.” Laminate a High Five poster and post it beside your classroom door. Use it over and over again by just changing the fact on the poster. Every time your students leave the classroom, they give the poster a ‘high-five’ and say the fact on the hand and the answer. It can be used for whatever short facts you want your students to know, like: · math facts (any operation) · phonics sounds ·

This spelling contract/worksheet includes five open-ended activities for using your students' names as spelling words. This is a great spelling activity for before Valentine's Day when students will be writing classmates' names on Valentine cards. I only make my 4th graders learn to spell their classmates' first names.

The Dead Word Cemetary poster brings to students' attention words which are never correct in the standard English language. Students remind one another when someone says a word on the poster. Poster is formatted to print on a 12 x 18 sheet of paper.

Six basic classroom rules are listed as behavior targets or "I can.." statements. This poster prints to 12 x 18 tabloid size paper.
